Remnant || H.S by 17blackkiwi

One night. One mistake. And everything shatters. When a deal turns violent, a small town is left reeling - and Emery is caught in the wreckage. Grief turns to suspicion, loyalty to lies, and the people she trusts most start to slip through her fingers. Harry, her best friend, is hiding something. The truth is buried somewhere in the aftermath. And the harder Emery fights to hold it all together, the faster it falls apart. In a world of half-truths and consequences, everyone carries a piece of the blame. Some just carry it longer than others. ***** Author's Note: Remnant deals with grief, guilt, and self-destruction. Some scenes include violence, drug use, and mental health struggles. If you need to take a break, please do. Look after yourself first <3

The Taste of Iron by Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

Our Forever Flame by SerenityMoretti

Seventeen-year-old Princess Ember of the Phoenix Kingdom was born into an era of uneasy peace. For years, her people and the Dragon Kingdom have coexisted under a fragile truce, the remnants of ancient wars buried beneath a thin veil of diplomacy. But peace, like fire, is unpredictable-and all it takes is one spark to set everything ablaze. That spark ignites just days after Ember meets Nineteen-year-old Prince Xiodis. Their encounter is unplanned, their connection instant-two heirs from rival lands, drawn together by something deeper than duty or alliance. Ember is flame: fierce, impulsive, and full of heart. Xiodis is the calm before the storm: sharp, composed, and unshakably strong. In each other, they find something rare-understanding in a world that only expects obedience. But just as they begin to uncover what they truly mean to each other, Xiodis is betrothed to Princess Ella of the Wolf Kingdom, sealing an alliance that threatens everything he and Ember have begun to build in secret. Now, with the bonds of loyalty pulling them in opposite directions, Ember and Xiodis must choose: betray their hearts or betray their kingdoms. Because in a world where love is a liability, every choice comes with a cost. Our Forever Flame is a tale of love caught in the crossfire, of destiny rewritten, and of two hearts who dared to hope for more-even as the world around them burns.

The Fall of Vequera by storiesbyandy_

18 chapters available • the rest are available on Patreon Book one in "The Reign of The Flame" series "If she became queen, she would be the end of us all." A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.
